the use of the .close() method is more effective when you use named windows
as a reference

for example


when you open a window, set that functino equal to a variable

newwindow = window.open("win.html",win)

then you can call newwindow.close()



below is a complete example


<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function openMe()
{
f = window.open("test.html",
"newwindow","toolbar=no,status=yes,width=248,height=224,resizable=1,scrollba
rs=no,menubar=no")
}

</SCRIPT>
<a href="javascript:openMe();">open</a>

<br><br>

<a href="javascript:f.close();">close</a>
</body>
</html>




You can call f.close() from the main window


I hope this answer helps you out...

in the future, you should put an "OT" in your subject when you ask
Javascript questions

Subject: FLASH: CLOSE WINDOW


Does anyone have a quick answer?
I have a Flash site that launches a blank window with frames and I want to
have it close with the users click. I have tried this script:


<html>
<head>
<title>WindowCloser</title>
</head>

<body onload="self.close() ">

</body>
</html>



in a linked page and it doesn't work: all it does is make the screen blank
(closing the embedded frame but not the window.) Any ideas? There is
probably a much better way.

Thanks in advance!
